2005 MISSION TO MANTE

Dr. William Whalen works to repair a cataract in a woman in the Mante Red Cross that has been converted into the eye clinic on Saturday, Feb. 5, 2005. The eye clinic repairs several hundred cataracts each year due to the extreme exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun working and living in the tropical area, as the minimum wage is about $6 a day and sunglasses cost about $9.
